1
00:00:00.04 --> 00:00:03.07
- Chapter four and it's finally
time to get illustrating.

2
00:00:03.07 --> 00:00:05.05
This is when things get exciting.

3
00:00:05.05 --> 00:00:07.09
Illustrator offers five line tools.

4
00:00:07.09 --> 00:00:10.09
One draws a straight line,
another draws a smooth arc.

5
00:00:10.09 --> 00:00:13.08
This one draws a spiral,
and these last two

6
00:00:13.08 --> 00:00:16.02
draw a couple of different kinds of grits.

7
00:00:16.02 --> 00:00:18.01
What I love about these tools is that

8
00:00:18.01 --> 00:00:20.03
they split the difference
between ease of use

9
00:00:20.03 --> 00:00:22.00
and supreme power.

10
00:00:22.00 --> 00:00:25.03
Your job is to draw one
basic line after another.

11
00:00:25.03 --> 00:00:27.06
In a business, we call these primitives.

12
00:00:27.06 --> 00:00:29.02
But just as in real life,

13
00:00:29.02 --> 00:00:32.02
primitives lead to more complex organisms.

14
00:00:32.02 --> 00:00:33.07
One object builds on another.

15
00:00:33.07 --> 00:00:35.06
And before you know it you end up with

16
00:00:35.06 --> 00:00:37.07
something that's not a line at all.

17
00:00:37.07 --> 00:00:41.00
Let's start with the simplest
tools that Illustrator offers

18
00:00:41.00 --> 00:00:43.09
and then we'll build from there.
